#218 - Chapter 218 Hong Yi's Contract with the Fourth-Level Criminal
The criminal, free from the spherical prison, felt the cool breeze of the outside world. The thought that he wouldn't die inexplicably in the spherical jail brought tears of excitement to his eyes.
Hong Yi, standing beside the criminal, temporarily put away the other spherical prisons and said,
"I don't want that thing you mentioned earlier. I need other good stuff now."
The criminal looked at Hong Yi, sensing the terrifying power emanating from him. He immediately abandoned the idea of fooling Hong Yi and took out a pile of items from his Niwan Palace, saying,
"These are my most important treasures. If you think they're not valuable enough, you can sign a contract with me. In the future, I can kill some people for you that you find inconvenient to deal with!"
Hong Yi collected the items on the ground and said, "You draft the contract, and remember to keep it a secret. Don't leak my information."
Afterward, Hong Yi's gaze fell on the spherical prisons again, watching the criminals imprisoned inside.
After a while, the criminal wrote the contract and handed it to Hong Yi, who accepted it and allowed the criminal to leave.
Subsequently, Hong Yi continued to monitor the criminal's situation.
In the following period, more and more criminals couldn't withstand the pressure and voluntarily revealed some hidden treasure locations.
At the same time, many criminals also died in the spherical prisons.
Since none of the released criminals had died and left this place alive, Hong Yi firmly believed that the Black Prison Master had indeed left behind a self-destruct formation for killing people.
Hong Yi looked at the fourth-tier criminals in the spherical prisons, wondering whether to release criminals of other levels.
Although the other levels of criminals hadn't died yet, it was hard to say when it would be their turn.
However, for now, he could only release the weaker criminals. Those powerful criminals would have to wait a while longer.
Because Hong Yi didn't have the confidence to control the powerful criminals. If those powerful criminals gave him a knife, he would be dead.
While pondering, Hong Yi accepted the sixth contract written by the criminal who regained freedom.
After signing the contract, Hong Yi said, "I'll look for you when something comes up. Go."
The criminal grinned, turned around, and flew into the sky. However, the criminal only flew three meters high before all the energy in his body dissipated, and he fell straight to the ground, smashing a large pit.
Hong Yi's face changed, and he quickly stepped forward to check.
After examining the body, Hong Yi looked dazed and muttered to himself:
"How did he die after being released? Could it be that the Black Prison Master didn't leave a self-destruct formation for killing people at regular intervals? Is someone else killing them? No, they were imprisoned before and didn't communicate with the outside world. It's impossible for them to be killed by outsiders!"
Hong Yi couldn't figure it out no matter how he thought about it. He didn't know how the completely trapped criminals died, nor did he know how they died after they came out.
Just then, Hong Yi discovered that the contract he had signed with the criminal had suddenly become invalid, which meant that the criminal was dead!
Hong Yi quickly released energy, connected to the inside of the spherical prisons, and said to the criminals:
"Now more criminals are dying. Think carefully, would you rather die in despair, or give me some resources and let me release you!"
Hong Yi felt that no matter who killed the criminals, they were already dead.
Instead of letting the criminals die in prison, it was better to let them die outside.
If they died outside, at least he could get some resources.
If the criminals died inside the spherical prisons, only those who liked to carry resources with them could bring value. The other criminals would only be corpses, and it would be a waste of time to deal with them.
In the spherical prisons, the criminals who carried resources with them were even more impatient and offered resources one after another.
On the other hand, those who hid their resources outside were more calm.
They couldn't see the outside situation and only knew that they hadn't died.
At this moment, these criminals even suspected that their judgment of Hong Yi had been wrong, and felt that Hong Yi's acting skills had improved, making him better at deceiving people.
After a period of time, all the fourth-tier criminals who carried resources on their bodies gave up struggling, paid resources, and escaped from the spherical prisons.
Hong Yi looked at the remaining extremely calm criminals and finally couldn't help but release one of them.
As soon as the criminal left the sphere, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly. Then he respectfully saluted Hong Yi and said,
"Thank you for releasing me. I have some resources hidden in the Emperor Plane, 300 meters away from the gate of Tiande Academy, 29 meters underground. You can send someone to follow me, and I will take the things out."
Hong Yi took out paper and pen with a blank expression, and also took out a restraining item in the shape of a wristband, and said,
"I released you without getting anything in return. You can make up a location at will and run away while taking the resources;
If you can't escape, and there are no resources in that place, you can also say that the resources were taken away by others and continue to play tricks on me;
To avoid these problems, you must wear the restraining item and sign a contract with me;
If the place you mentioned has no resources, you must serve the Seven Stars Group for life, and die for the Seven Stars Group!"
The criminal's face changed slightly when he heard this, and then he felt the terrifying power on Hong Yi's body, and immediately said,
"The resource location I mentioned earlier is too close to the academy, and it may be found. How about this, I'll tell you a new location and sign a contract with you, what do you think?"
Hong Yi nodded expressionlessly and said, "Wear the restraining item and write all the resource information on the contract."
The criminal nodded obediently, took the wristband and put it on, wrote information on the paper, and left his energy to sign the contract.
Hong Yi took the contract, injected energy, and signed the contract.
As the contract was completed, the wristband turned into a tattoo and merged into the criminal's body. Only then did Hong Yi relax.
Now the contract signed by the criminal will definitely not fool people casually, guaranteeing it is real.
Even if the criminal dies, Hong Yi will not suffer a loss, and he can get some resources more or less.
Hong Yi said, "Go to another place to rest for a while, I will find you later."
The criminal nodded, turned and left, and thought about how to retaliate against the Seven Stars Group after completing the contract in the future.
As a criminal wanted by the Emperor Plane, he can be forced to sign a contract at this time, but he must retaliate in the future.
Hong Yi also knew that forcing the criminal now would definitely be retaliated by the criminal, but these criminals were targeted by unknown things, and it was uncertain whether they could survive today. Hong Yi didn't need to be afraid of him.
Subsequently, Hong Yi continued to release other fourth-tier criminals, relying on his fifth-tier strength to force the criminals to wear restraining items, and demand resources and sign contracts.
These criminals were weak, had no items on them, and could not escape at all, so they could only obediently wear the restraining items.
Before long, Hong Yi forced all the living fourth-tier criminals to sign contracts, and then checked the situation of criminals of other levels.
After confirming that the other levels of criminals were still alive, Hong Yi relaxed slightly and stopped releasing them.
